Fong'd to A&M today. No idea where he is in the process, but he seems like such a unique recruit so I started a thread. He's currently the #158 overall, #15 TE, and #1 Swedish Player. He's 6'6", 245-250, and runs a 4.65. That screams match-up nightmare.

That is very interesting.

It looks like the top international player from the class of 2021 was also a tight end from Sweden who signed with West Virginia.

Victor Wikstrom - 247

West Virginia also signed a defensive lineman from Finland.

Edward Vesterinen - 247

I love that the 247 composite has overall rankings for Finland and Sweden. They’re the only ones listed but still.

This kid looks like a beast. Guessing there will be more development required than normal because of his background but that’s fine. It sounds like we want him and Jaden Platt in 2023. The Sweden thing is cool to me

We did get an OL from Australia last year, why not a TE from Sweden?

Think he may reclassify to 2022 and is deciding this week between A&M and OSU.

That's what OSU insiders say. Seems like Fong knows; haven't heard much from OSU insiders

It wasn’t just font who mentioned him today. TexAgs had something too so I take it as a good sign for us.

Haha screams he will never see the field, just like that OL you got from Australia or wherever the hell he came from.

If Ohio State & Texas A&M are after a kid, he can probably play. Don't care where he is from.

The big Australian kid has never even suited up for a game, so not sure how you know he will never see the field. LSU offered him, so I don't think Coach O agrees with you.

This LSU fan....such anger. At least try to research the players before posting a low IQ response. Both the players u mention have some pretty amazing athletic qualities that are seen in 4 and 5 star players. Baylor Cupp was the #1 TE and 5-star that had almost identical athletic numbers. Aggies are stacking up some serious talent and depth. This guy may never see the field, given the depth, and nothing wrong with that. They are also apparently letting Eli Stowers play TE as he is dying to help the team. A great quality to see, especially for a top QB recruit. He has a 42 inch vertical and jumps 7 ft in the high jump....this guy may become a huge problem in the scheme....an athletic TE that can line up behind center too. Not sure how you game plan for that if Fisher gets tricky. You know Fisher is building the right culture when you see a highly recruited true freshman QB ask to see the field and help his team in anyway possible.

That 4.65 time is pretty insane for such a big kid. He certainly will be a very tough match up. See if he has good hands and can pickup on the blocking schemes.

To help CBP3110, Jordan Spasojevic-Moko is the OL from Australia. He was the 5th ranked JUCO player in the country. Auburn wanted him too. Could be another great INTL pickup that many others missed on. Certainly a great depth guy. See how Fisher develops him.

I know LSU is losing recruits, especially to A&M. Seems Fisher is clearly ahead of Ed O. If I was a coach, I would be searching the entire globe too for low hanging fruit. Shows forward thinking.

Australia is probably my favorite European country. How about you remaster916?

So do they play American football there or is he a rugby guy? Just curious as to how he was discovered, and i don't feel like reading a bunch of articles hoping to find it Seems like a physical arse dude. FSU hit a grand slam with Werner out of Germany back during Jimbo's days.
